I do it daily as a way to create photography content, that way i've attracted photography clients in my city, that's how i earn my living
And the people always ends very very happy with good photos!
I specifically got an 85mm for portrait photography, love using it.
What camera do you have?
50 and 85 are the best ones for potraits! Especially at around 2f and 2.8f
Sony a7ii, my 85mm is f1.8
Thats a really good camera!
My dream one when i just started was the sony a7iii but i didnt had enough money
So i ended up buying a Canon RP with 24-105mm f4 kit lens and 50 mm f1.8
And i do what i can with them!
